摘要:

Optic neuropathy developed in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis who had been receiving D-penicillamine for about 1 year. An associated finding included a 2+ positive antinuclear antibody test with a titer of 1:320. Optic disc swelling was resolved on high doses of intravenous steroids. The case resembles two previously reported cases of optic neuropathy which occurred in patients with Wilson's disease who were receiving penicillamine.

摘要:

Ischemic optic neuropathy developed in five eyes of four patients with optic nerve drusen. Two of the patients were in their 20s, a decade when idiopathic ischemic optic neuropathy is rare. This argues against a chance concurrence of drusen and idiopathic ischemic optic neuropathy. Infarction of the distal portion of the optic nerve in patients with drusen may result from mechanical distortion of blood vessels in the laminar and prelaminar regions.

摘要:

Two patients with histories of classic migraine developed ischemic optic neuropathy during a severe headache. Clinical and radiologic studies excluded other causes for the visual field loss. In both cases, the field loss was permanent. No further visual or neurologic disturbances have occurred in either patient during a 31/2− and 21/2-year period of follow-up, respectively.

摘要:

A 14-year-old girl developed impaired vision and optic atrophy of the left eye as a manifestation of an orbital and parachiasmal arteriovenous malformaton. Despite the lack of a retinal arteriovenous malformation, this condition appears to be a variant of the Wyburn-Mason syndrome, representing a vascular dysgenesis of the orbit and midbrain resulting in focal arteriovenous communications without interposed capillaries.

摘要:

We describe a 51-year-old woman with a falx meningioma causing Foster Kennedy syndrome accompanied by optociliary shunt vessels on the atrophic optic nerve. The tumor did not directly involve optic nerves or chiasm. The optociliary vessels disappeared after successful tumor removal. The patient's arteriograms, surgical findings, and postoperative course support the theory that optic atrophy in Foster Kennedy syndrome may be caused by compression of the optic nerve by adjacent brain tissue displaced by a distant intracranial mass lesion.

摘要:

A case is described of a patient who developed radiation-induced optic neuropathy 18 months following cobalt-60 irradiation for carcinoma of the left maxillary antrum and ethmoid sinus. This case is unusual because of the early onset of the optic nerve damage following radiation therapy and the ultimate emergence of the eye involved by tumor compression as the better eye in terms of visual acuity.

摘要:

Phycomycosis is an opportunistic infection occurring in immunocompromised hosts. It is the most acutely fatal fungal disease known. Therefore, early recognition and treatment are essential. Ocular and orbital involvement is part of a rhino-orbital-cerebral form of the disease. The orbital apex syndrome is the hallmark orbital involvement. A case of phycomycosis with internal ophthalmoplegia alone is reported. The internal ophthalmoplegia is probably secondary to involvement at the apex of the orbit, although not sufficiently diffuse to result in the complete orbital apex syndrome.

摘要:

Opsoclonus is a bizarre oculomotor disturbance consisting of rapid, involuntary, repetitive conjugate eye movements in all directions. Clinically, it has been associated with infections, neoplasms, toxins, and drugs. Pathologically, there is no apparent consistently defined structural lesion. A case of opsoclonus with postmortem results is reported. Opsoclonus in adults and available autopsy data are reviewed.
